DART routes running 30+ minutes late throughout the day due to lack of bus priority during North East Link construction works. Causing massive delays and overcrowding.
This is a completely unacceptable situation for the main public transport routes servicing the entire City of Manningham including Doncaster and Bulleen.
And not content with messing up the buses, North East Link works have again disrupted the route 48 tram as well due to "traffic impacts": https://transport.vic.gov.au/disruptions/disruptions-information/article/route-48-service-changes-from-10am-to-9pm-each-day-saturday-15-august-and-sunday-16-august-2
This is a completely solvable problem. It's just a question of planning and priorities.

@philip@aus.social I have (mostly) stopped using the eastern freeway bus services due to traffic delays from construction. It's usually quicker to bus from Doncaster to Box Hill and catch a train from there. Assuming the escalator is working..
